Nice, i guess you learn something new everyday.

Yeah, I took a bit to read up on the subject, and apparently it's really hard to use FPS rhetoric with regards to how sensitive the Eye is. The Eye continously processes light and data, rather than seeing in 'frames'. So, the best guess is around 72fps, since that will in a sense, overload the visual cortex/optic nerve with information, as real life does.

come again?

Well, ya you can see the difference. I'm just saying you can't see it stopping or anything, hence "the slideshow effect." That stuff.

Basically, once the framerate is fast enough, it's just perfectly smooth, you can't see any individual frames. Well, you can but... you know what I mean.

oh ok. i apologize for my slowness.

To make it more interesting, movies that you'd see in the theater, are traditionally at 24fps. Why don't we see chop in those? Because of motion blur

Ohhh now i get it!

Kool, where'd you guys learn this from? lol

Not to question your research exactly, but there's two elements involved here: the ability of the eye to distinguish motion and image change, and the ability of the brain to make sense of the information the eye is giving it and for it to translate it in a way that 'makes sense' to you as a viewer. The eye could see 500fps, but if you're brain can't keep up it doesn't make any difference what your eye is capable of seeing.

Regardless, as long as the frame-rate is up to the 25-30fps rate, it's more it's reliability that matters than it's rate IMO.

You guys sure are smart. We need more of you people around.

wow there are a lot of smart people... wow i want to be a film editor and i didn't know any of this. I honestly can say i dont care if it is anything above 72, because it just makes it more smooth, if we can see it or not. So ya lol...


(also very serious, can anyone tell me how to get started with film editing because i have never done any that has to do with it, but i am very interested in it. send me [a personal message] if you know anything about it. MODS i am sorry for doing this, please dont get made. I just want to have a good life lol... dont hate)

BTW HazyNector, I've edited your post to remove the email address - I'd recommend you don't give them out in a public forum, but if people want to contact you directly they can send you a personal message (PM) by clicking your name and inviting you to a private thread where you can discuss whatverer you like or give an address out there.

As for film editing, maybe get out a book on the subject?

k thanks....i dont know why i didnt do that lol, thx

aey, HAZE graphics should be 1080i or p
i mean i dun want UT3 type stuff.

This won't be UT3-esque at all...thank god. I mean, I like UT, always have, but I'm just about done with the Unreal 3 engine. It's a very tired and used engine.


Morne

720p is good enough for me. It wont look to bad IMO.

Hehe, until I get an HDTV, I won't even notice the difference between 720 and 1080 lol
